Trade Compliance Specialist
for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and
for prose
. Do NOT repeat job title as heading. Do NOT put Job ID/requisition numbers as headings. Remove boilerplate etc. Preserve all substantive info. Include a section only when posting has real specific content. Avoid filler like "commensurate with experience". Pay and Schedule sections only if posting actually states them. The posting includes Pay And Benefits with pay range $36.00 - $42.00/hr and benefits list. Also schedule: "The position is 100% onsite with a schedule of 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., including a 30‑minute lunch break." So we can have Pay and Schedule sections. Also Benefits section.
We need sections: About the role (maybe from description paragraph). Responsibilities (list). Requirements (maybe essential skills). Qualifications (maybe additional skills & qualifications). Skills (maybe essential skills? Actually essential skills list includes experience and knowledge; we could treat as Skills. But we also have Additional Skills & Qualifications. We need to decide mapping.
We have sections: About the role (intro paragraph). Responsibilities (list). Requirements (maybe essential skills? Or we could have Requirements as essential skills). Qualifications (additional skills & qualifications). Skills (maybe we could combine essential skills as Skills). But we need to avoid duplication. The instruction: Use headings for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we can include those that have content.
We have content for About the role: first paragraph after Job Description: "The Customs Specialist supports the successful execution of trade compliance initiatives by coordinating customs-related activities in alignment with U.S. customs laws and import/export regulations. This role serves as the primary liaison between internal stakeholders and external trade compliance experts, ensuring project deliverables stay on track, data remains accurate, and customs processes are effectively implemented. The position manages trade compliance project coordination, maintains product master data and HTS classifications, monitors progress through reporting and KPIs, and supports audits and statutory reporting. The role is ideal for a detail-oriented professional who enjoys wearing multiple hats, values accuracy, and thrives in a growing trade compliance function within a dynamic logistics environment."
That's About the role.
Responsibilities: list of bullet points under "Responsibilities". We'll output as
- each.
Requirements: maybe essential skills list (2–3+ years experience etc). We'll treat as Requirements.
Qualifications: Additional Skills & Qualifications list.
Skills: maybe we could list specific skills like proficiency in Microsoft Office, ERP, trade compliance systems, etc. But those are already in essential skills. To avoid duplication, we could put Skills as a separate list of technical proficiencies: "Proficiency in Microsoft Office Suite, including Excel, Word, and PowerPoint, with strong data management and reporting skills. Experience working with an ERP system, such as SAP or Syspro, or similar enterprise resource planning tools. Familiarity with trade compliance systems such as ADV Tool, Aristocrat, ACE Portal (Automated Commercial Environment), or comparable customs applications." But those are already in essential skills. However we could still include them under Skills if we want. But we need to avoid filler. It's okay to have overlapping content? The instruction: Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. It doesn't forbid duplication, but better to avoid redundancy. However we need to follow the headings list; we can include Skills if we have content. We could extract the skills from essential skills that are not already covered in Requirements (which is experience). But essential skills includes both experience and knowledge and skills. We could split: Requirements = experience (years, etc). Skills = technical proficiencies (Microsoft Office, ERP, trade compliance systems). Qualifications = additional skills & qualifications.
Let's parse essential skills bullet list:
- 2–3+ years of professional experience in customs compliance, international trade, import/export operations, supply chain, or logistics.
- Hands-on experience with trade compliance and customs entry and review activities.
- Experience reviewing shipping, freight, brokerage, and import-related invoices for accuracy and resolving discrepancies.
- Experience supporting regulatory compliance initiatives, trade compliance activities, or business process implementation projects.
- Working knowledge of customs compliance, international trade, and import/export processes.
- Knowledge of Harmonized Tariff Schedule (HTS) classifications and U.S. customs or import/export compliance regulations.
- Proficiency in Microsoft Office Suite, including Excel, Word, and PowerPoint, with strong data management and reporting skills.
- Experience working with an ERP system, such as SAP or Syspro, or similar enterprise resource planning tools.
- Familiarity with trade compliance systems such as ADV Tool, Aristocrat, ACE Portal (Automated Commercial Environment), or comparable customs applications.
- Strong organizational skills with the ability to manage large volumes of data and documentation for thousands of parts and products.
- High attention to detail and commitment to data accuracy and regulatory compliance.
- Ability to collaborate effectively across functions and communicate clearly with internal stakeholders and external partners.
- Growth mindset, positive attitude, and willingness to take initiative in a newly created role.
- Ability to work independently, prioritize tasks, and meet deadlines in a fast-paced environment.
We could treat Requirements as the experience bullets (first four). Skills as the rest (knowledge, proficiency, organizational, attention to detail, collaboration, growth mindset, independent work). Qualifications as Additional Skills & Qualifications list.
Additional Skills & Qualifications list:
- Experience in logistics environments involving rail and truck transportation.
- Background in imports, exports, and trade compliance within complex supply chains.
- Exposure to export compliance and import documentation processes.
- Experience supporting or working within a newly formed or expanding trade compliance function.
- Comfort with learning and standardizing vendor-provided classification data across multiple systems.
- Flexibility to wear multiple hats and adapt as the department grows and responsibilities evolve.
- Strong interpersonal skills to act as a liaison between logistics, trade compliance, and other internal teams.
- Interest in aviation, aerospace, or manufacturing environments, particularly related to premium aircraft seating, is a plus.
We'll output those as

Now Benefits: list from Pay And Benefits section: Medical, dental & vision; Critical Illness, Accident, and Hospital; 401(k) Retirement Plan – Pre-tax and Roth post-tax contributions available; Life Insurance (Voluntary Life & AD&D for the employee and dependents); Short and long-term disability; Health Spending Account (HSA); Transportation benefits; Employee Assistance Program; Time Off/Leave (PTO, Vacation or Sick Leave). We'll output as list.
Pay: The pay range: $36.00 - $42.00/hr. We'll output as
maybe.
Schedule: The position is 100% onsite with a schedule of 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., including a 30‑minute lunch break. Also mention Work Environment details? But schedule section should contain schedule info. We'll output as
.
We also have Work Environment details (onsite contract, location, etc). Could be part of About the role or maybe we could add a section "Work Environment"? Not in allowed headings list. So we can incorporate into About the role or maybe we can add a paragraph under About the role. The instruction: Use headings for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It doesn't forbid other headings, but says "use
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)". It seems they expect those headings only. We'll stick to those.
Thus we will output:
